Real Science Teaching. Real Classroom Experience.

I’m Amy Brown, a veteran high school biology and chemistry teacher, wife, and mom who understands the daily reality of lesson planning, grading, meetings, and everything in between. I know what it feels like to have too much to do and not enough time to do it.

After decades in the classroom, I’ve created rigorous, classroom-tested biology and chemistry resources that save you planning time while still delivering strong, meaningful science instruction. Every lab, activity, and lesson is designed to move students beyond memorization and into real scientific thinking.

If you want your students excited about science and thinking deeply without spending your entire weekend planning, you’re in the right place.

About Me

Hello!!  


Welcome to Amy Brown Science!  I am delighted you stopped by my blog for a visit.

If you are curious to know a little bit about me, read on.  If you hate looking at other people's photos, you better head back to the home page. Quick!


I have over 30 years of teaching experience in a large public school system.  My high school has an average population of about 1800 students. From year to year, I have taught Standard Biology 1, Honors Biology 1, Standard Chemistry, Honors Chemistry, Biology II, and AP Biology. I love them all!




Teaching high school science is fun, fun, fun!  
My love is the laboratory, and I have my students in the lab as much as possible.  


My students excel on end of course exams and the AP Biology exam, for which I am very proud, but my greatest joy in teaching is that moment when I realize I have turned a kid on to science!  I get very excited when teaching, and nothing beats seeing your students getting excited along with you.  I am thrilled when my former students return home from college and tell me how much my class has helped them.

Outside of teaching school, my interests are many! Things I enjoy include:  Traveling, anything that occurs outdoors, hiking, gardening, reading, visiting a museum, and restaurants!

My teaching career has been successful, and I have enjoyed every minute in the classroom, but the thing of which I am most proud is my family.  I have been married to my wonderful husband for 32 years, and we have two absolutely incredible daughters.  I thank all of them for indulging me as we waded through swamps, searched bogs for pitcher plants, hiked farther than anyone wanted to go, snorkeled in freezing water ....

Whenever I get "itchy" to get outside, they gladly put on their hiking boots and say, "What Mom adventure are we going on now?"


A special tribute goes to my Mom.  She was a biology teacher before me, and she is responsible for all that I love about nature and science.  She is the yardstick by which I judge myself, and I can only hope that I have measured up.

    Amy, thank you for sharing a little history about yourself and your passion as a teacher and naturalist! I smiled as I saw your pictures and think about how I too do the same with my daughter, trying to show them how beautiful and interesting the natural world can be! Thanks to your mom for showing you the way :) Happy Teaching.

    Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! We are homeschooling, the reasons are many but I have a daughter (15) who is doing Biology and I want her to have as much laboratory experience as possible. I was looking for a substitute for phenol red indicator to test her DNA and I came across your page. RED CABBAGE?? Who would have known. We are giving it a go. I love science!

    Amy, I am having soooo much fun working on your Cell shirt. I'm really trying to personalize it for you. And as I read about you I think to myself, "We are kindred spirits" with so much in common!
